Take a Deep Breath

We have decided to move from the Great Plains to NYC in the year 2012. This was not something we just came up with over New Year's Eve cocktails either. We have been discussing this move for almost a year now and the timing seems to be right. The first grandbaby (who will reside in NYC at least for a little while) is expected to arrive in late March, a 50th birthday that qualifies my husband for retirement is around the corner (late July),and it is time to downsize from the home we upsized to ten years ago.

Now the hard decisions need to be made. This is where we take a deep breath and plow ahead. We need to decide when to put the house on the market. What to sell, what to store, what to get rid of. Downsizing from 3700 square feet to 900 square feet will be no easy feat. This will chronicle our journey for the next year. From the Midwest to Midtown.

Daily Downsizing Tally: Nothing thrown away, sold, or donated. It's a holiday!
